Hey everyone,

Just a quick update to let you know where I'm at with Three Square Meals.

I've written the first half of the next chapter (129) and just handed it over to my editors. I'll get cracking with the second half tomorrow and all being well, it should be finished by the 10th January.

I hope you all had a great Christmas and have a very happy 2020!

Tefler

Holy shitballs! The next chapter coming out this fast was about the last thing I expected! But you won't find me complaining!

The 20's are off to a great start, thanks Tef! My BDay is the 30th. It would be soooo cool to have CH 130 for my present on 01/30. lol

Thanks Tef!

Hey Tefler, by the way, your flying car is parked, awaiting you, right next to your paperless office.

here you go Tefler :-)

Just finished reading Aurora Musis Amica’s Dawnfall; An Unclaimed Legacy Story. While we wait for another installment, reading Dawnfall might be a good idea.

Useless information for ya'll. Based on a word count published on Lit for chapters 1 -125 and the word count from what we have received here for chapters 126, 127, & 128 the total word count is 3,287,550.

Anonymous

So through 128 chapters based on my numbers above, that is an average of 25,687 per chapter. OUTSTANDING TEFLER!!. I will grant that I am an old man and could have transferred a wrong number here and there, but I will state I think it is damn close.

Tefler

I'm currently working on the second half of the chapter, but I've still got quite a bit to go. It'll probably be another couple of days until it's finished.

Fun fact: if we made audiobooks they would be 25,288.8 minutes long or 421.48 hours or 17 and a half DAYS long. So, yeah. Wow.

Thank you for the update on the release timeline.

Oh man, I remember when I was a kid a boy down the street had one of those metal toy Supercars, straight out of the series. I was SO jealous of him for that!

YAY so excited!!!

I can't remember. Do chapters ever go live on the weekend?

Nonconformist

Tefler commented in an earlier post that the chapter was going to be at least a couple days later than first thought. I'm thinking it could be the 15th before we see it.

Wonder when hes gonna make the next ebook my amazon account is ready to purchase

prsstarid

We know the crew is on it's way to pick up Jack and Mateo which by coincidence is the location the revolting outer rim governors are meeting. I wonder if that story thread will come into play in the next chapter or if Tefler will save it for later?

Timbo

Bearing in mind they are all very pro-Lion, if Invictus comes near any of them they are likely to hail John and try and download on him. Aren’t the trio John rescued from Karron somehow involved in all that, as well? I’m guessing John will have to share, in more depth, what’s going on, if they meet up. I’m sure he’ll hope that once they have a broader view of it all - and the fact that the Kirrix are now out of the picture for decades - they’ll hang on in there, but maybe he can do something with Lynette to make sure the outer colonies feel more empowered and represented at the centre.

Timbo, the three Karron survivors are on the planet,(Valia's Gate?) that Governor Luce just left so she could attend the meeting.

David B

Any updates on when 129 will be coming out?? On pins and needles here!! Was hoping it would be out for this weekend!!

Roy Meyer

Yeah, my TSM addiction is kicking in as well. I'm currently hoping that John and the girls take Calara's family back to Valaden. They could be military attache's to work on coordination. Just saying...

If the battle with Gahl is in John's galaxy, it would probably be in Maliri space so I am not sure that would be the safest place for them.

Previously it was before 10th with option for 130 by 31st. Now 129 between 25th and 31st. Of course final say is of Grand Overlord's.

bob lakhanpal

Hopefully, the new chapter should be up in a few hours, thats when Tefler's two days are going to be up......

TargetDrone
>>31045277

not to rain on your parade, but tefler wrote " It'll probably be another couple of days "... no reference to 2 days, so it can be by the end of the coming week as well.....

Taco1085

I don't think it will be ready for another couple of days, but that is all good. when it does post we will be clamoring for another chapter and the process starts again.

Mark P

Just binge listened to chapters 121 through 128 and wow! Can't wait for the next 75 chapters:) I've had no time to sit down and read so my solution was to download the @Voice app to my tablet and I listened to each chapter read aloud with bluetooth headphones. Since chapters are in Word format it's easy but I did have to do a search and replace on all asteriks with quotation marks. The app would say "asterik" each time one appeared but ignores quotation marks.

Anonymous

If anything, we all know that tefler is terrible at deadlines. It will come when it comes.

Mark P

Spin off in same universe - 16 years ago a research scientist in the Terran Eugenics program escapes with six toddlers. One red-headed girl she left on Karron. Three children are left together on (pick a colony world) raised by a shadowy underworld guardian. The children are one male and two females who have now turned 18. The girls have manifested psychic powers of persuasion and manipulation and the male develops powers of strength and a tech skills. Chapter 1 - used as tools by their quardian it's time to break away on their own.

Dennis Banfield

Good afternoon everyone, a little while back there was a story posted using the same universe as Tefler’s 3 square meals. I’ve been struggling to find it since, as I think it would be worth a re-read. Anyone remember the title?

JD BREWZ

Any updates today?

Anonymous

That was an amazing story.

John Jameson
>>31054917

Tefler is great at monthly deadlines. His plan to release on the 10th suggested an ambition to release three chapters in January (hence living up to his pitch of 3 chapters/month). Now that three chapters this month is impossible, he will be aiming for two, hence a release date of between 15-20 January for the first one - I don' t expect it sooner than that, but will be happy to be surprised!

Big Dude

I think Tefler wants to publish two chapters per month but realized two children are really four times the problems. Also since he hasn't written chapters ahead of time he is behind his own 8 ball. I spoke to other authors who have written ahead and they can edit them as they change their mind based on commentary. So patience my friends while he adjusts to his new normal.

Big Dude

Not today! I am under the impression that Tefler likes to build suspense! Or maybe upset Jeff Eaton?

That is f'ken hilarious. Deepest respect to Jeff Eaton. I think life happens more than anticipated with Jr the Second.

Tefler

Hey everyone. Unfortunately, my mother-in-law was admitted to hospital with sepsis, so I've been helping out quite a bit with childcare. I've got about 7k to go to finish the chapter.

Timbo

Thanks for the update Tef. I was starting to get a feeling that something was slightly out of kilter, and worry a little that u and the family were OK. Hope things improve for your M-i-L. Very best wishes Tim

Thanks for the update Tefler. I hope she gets better soon.

Evan

Hope everything works out for you and yours soon!

Sepsis requiring hospitalization is most often extremely serious. I hope your Mxm's is mostly precautionary.

Arrowglass

Have dealt with sepsis before...it was fatal for my brother-in-law...so our prayers are with you ALL!

Grimlakin

Yea my father in law had a run in with that. Thankfully for him they were able to have him on a iv of meds for a week. And get it under control, then a couple months of daily injections through a line he had to keep on at all times.

Big Dude

Telfer, I hope she is well taken care of. Does the NHS deal with immediate care? BTW did you call 111 or 999?

Horny Rhino

I know my name isn't particularly appropriate, but that said, I still consider myself a God (Great Protector XD) fearing man... I'll have a talk with the Big Man (no innuendo intended) about her swift recovery... Thanks For The Update, #FamilyFirst (that's still a thing right? Sorry, was born during the Regan Administartion, so these newfangled "trends" tend to escape me)

Anonymous

Sorry to hear about your MIL Tefler. Sepsis is nothing to be taken lightly. Take all the time you need with the family. They are more important than our withdrawal symptoms. Hope your MIL makes a speedy recovery, and her doctor's named Rachel.

Mac of Alden

Family first Sepsis is not something which can be taken lightly, I can so easily be life threatening. My thoughts are with you.

raymond sisko

Actually my dad had sepsis and had a mild case of dementia. Took him to the hospital Jan 19 and because of the sepsis his dementia accelerated to the point he had Strokes and as patient advocate I had to pull the plug on him 1month later. Looked at this and it sounded too gloomy. But even though sepsis is very serious it can be routinely cured. You have thoughts and prayers Tefler

>>31240529

Sorry for your loss Raymond. Having to pull the plug is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. But it was what dad wanted. If you are still grieving....I finally wrote dad a letter, sobbing all the way through it...but it helped.

Ralf

Anything on discord?

Nonconformist

Not everybody is able to easily use Discord. Even with PLRus trying to help me I was not able to go through the steps you have to in order to use Discord. PLRus was on with me for at least 40 minutes and the system still would not allow me access. This is NOT a complaint just a fact. I think it was me or my system that is the problem ( I also found out I can't type fast enough to keep up anyway, I was being asked if I was still there. I was. ) So keep in mind that for some of us it is just easier to ask for info from Discord users than to get on Discord. Thank you.

B S

maybe post the 1st half to keep the wolves at bay.....???

Duncan Smith

I for one really enjoy the story and the characters and rarely post any comments as i know that waiting for the next installment builds the excitement and the reason being for the delay is due to Tefler making sure the story is correct and up to the required standard we all expect and in some cases demand.

Anonymous
>>31171874

Yes, NHS takes care of emergencies as well as longer term care. 999 is for life threatening emergencies. 111 is for when you are not sure what to do. They will guide you to the most appropriate care.

mistwolf_2k

Or he could just not set a date and release when he feels like it. That way anyone who gets hung up on dates and have little concern that life sometimes gets in the way wouldn't have a leg to stand on. The pace of his writing is phenomenal. Especially when you consider the amount of content in each chapter.

Spartan 52

Totally agree, how many professional (publishing books) authors do 360k words a year? Lee Childs gets one book out JRR Martin appears to be a book a decade 😉

I've written 31.5k so far and I'm just wrapping up the last scene I'm working on. It should be up tomorrow.

OK before 128 is forgot and maybe this discussion got by me somewhere i don't keep up all the time but. was This a subtle hint that Alyssa is Kyth’faren...(blonde hair drawn back emphasized Alyssa’s graceful neck and also revealed the pointed tips of her Kyth’faren ears) plus the reference back when dad an son were gallivanting the Astral and it was mentioned that the Kyth’faren castle resembled the Home Alyssa built on her plain , that she may very well be Kyth’faren and not Progenitor

Sean Miller

John is not much of a Progenitor either. Aside from being imbued with the Kyth'faren secrets he has systematically rejected the truly Progenitor parts of his heritage. It would make sense that Alyssa would only be Kyth'faren as John wouldn't want to pass on the negative aspects that differentiate the Progenitors from the Kyth.

ETNSosa
>>31491033

Alyssa had turned herself into a Progenitor some chapters back. After Larn died, we learned about the Progenitors really being Kyth'faren, making Alyssa a Kyth'faren since she had transmuted herself.

Anonymous

Rachel checked and her species came back as progenitor.

Anonymous

Yes but the Kyth and proginators are technically the same race it's the mental warping that separates the two.

Well guys it's been fun but I'm cut off patreon won't take pre-paid cards anymore or pre-paid cards won't allow patreon to work. Guess I'm back to waiting for the releases elsewhere as I don't have anthing I can tie to patreon that will work. Buying a pre-paid card was so easy.
